Love, 29, the star forward for the defending Eastern Conference champion Cleveland Cavaliers, suffered the panic attack in the third quarter of the November 5 game against the Atlanta Hawks and led to a stay in the Cleveland Clinic, Cleveland.com wrote.

Love, whose panic attacks caused him to leave a game against the Atlanta Hawks on November 5th and likely led to his early departure against the Oklahoma City Thunder on January 20th.

He chose to speak out in order to "create a better environment for talking about mental health".

Suddenly, all the things that drew me to the school triggered a feeling I'd never experienced. "Today, I've realized I need to change that".

Love also wrote, "Mental health isn't just an athlete thing". Partly, I want to do it for me, but mostly, I want to do it because people don't talk about mental health enough.

Sure, he said. My professor would later check on me, but to everyone that had witnessed the event ... this was the end of it. "I didn't even know if they were real", Love wrote.

Kevin Love has had his most challenging National Basketball Association season to date. And like many people who have had them, Love didn't know what was going on at first.

The incident still weighed on him, though, and the thought of anyone finding out bothered him, too. Love is now sidelined with a broken left hand. I turned 29 in September and for pretty much 29 years of my life I have been protective about anything and everything in my inner life. Honestly, I just didn't think I needed it.
